The DCU Ryan Academy for Entrepreneurship is running a one-day Workshop on entrepreneurship, free of charge, for unemployed graduates in conjunction with the Lord Mayor of Dublin and the Union of Students in Ireland. The Workshop will take place on the 9th December, in the Mansion House, from 10am-4pm, where graduates will learn practical skills to start their own companies. There will be an opportunity for attendees to network with each other after the event. In the morning session, attendees will learn how to start their own business from Gordon McConnell of the DCU Ryan Academy. They will also hear from successful business people who started their own companies. After lunch, the attendees will be broken up into smaller working groups to learn Worksearch 2.0 and networking skills. There will be a keynote speech from another successful entrepreneur before the Workshop ends and those who wish to stay to network and discuss ideas with each other will be welcome to do so. For more information or to enrol in the Workshop, please email your name, address and phone number to Emma at: emmafoley@lordmayorofdublin.ie or call 222 6256. There will be a limited number of places so enrol early to guarantee a place. |
| The Lord Mayor and Dublin City University decided to provide this workshop due to the rising number of young graduates who are experiencing difficulties in finding a job. The Lord Mayor hopes that it will inspire motivated graduates to found their own companies and become successful entrepreneurs. The Lord Mayor is grateful to DCU and the USI for their support in organising this Workshop. |
